Approach Considerations
The universally accepted treatment of giant cell arteritis (GCA) is high-dose corticosteroid therapy.[49, 19, 6, 131, 132, 133] The major justification for the use of corticosteroids is the impending danger of blindness in untreated patients. Patients who present with visual symptoms have a 22-fold increased chance of visual improvement if therapy is started within the first day. Damage may be irreversible if treatment is delayed beyond 48 hours.
Few studies exist regarding dosing protocols for corticosteroids in GCA. It is generally agreed that most patients with suspected GCA should be started on oral prednisone 40-60 mg/day, with a temporal artery biopsy performed within 1 week.[100] Prednisone doses of 80-100 mg/day have been suggested for patients with visual or neurologic symptoms of GCA.[134] Follow-up care within 72 hours after starting therapy should be arranged.
Alternatively, patients with acute visual changes from GCA can be started on intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone at doses of 250-1,000 mg daily for 3 days. In addition, limited data suggest that initial high-dose IV corticosteroid treatment (eg, methylprednisolone, 15 mg/kg of ideal body weight/day) may reduce remission rates.[135, 136] However, further study is warranted before this is routinely practiced.
Improvement of systemic symptoms (eg, headache, lethargy) typically occurs within 72 hours of initiation of therapy. The elevation in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and ischemic manifestations (eg, temporal headache, jaw claudication) diminish in several days. The ESR often drops even in patients with a normal baseline reading.
Patients with multi-infarct dementia from GCA should not expect immediate cognitive recovery; however, longitudinal follow-up should show no further deterioration and may show modest improvement. Even with prompt treatment, visual loss may be permanent.
High-dose steroid therapy should be maintained only long enough for symptoms to resolve. Steroids should then be tapered slowly to the lowest dose required to suppress symptoms. Both clinical signs and sequential measurements of the ESR (or C-reactive protein level) assist in monitoring the patient's response. Patients with visual involvement usually require slower tapering of corticosteroids.
British guidelines recommend the following schedule for tapering of standard-regimen corticosteroids[49] :
Continue prednisolone, 40-60 mg (not <0.75 mg/kg) for 4 weeks (or until symptoms and laboratory abnormalities resolve), then
Reduce dose by 10 mg every 2 weeks to 20 mg, then
Reduce dose by 2.5 mg every 2-4 weeks to 10 mg, then
Reduce dose by 1 mg every 1-2 months, provided no relapse occurs
The guidelines recommend that patients on steroid therapy receive prophylactic treatment with the following medications[49] :
Low-dose aspirin, 81 mg per day – To decrease cranial ischemic complications
Proton pump inhibitor – For gastrointestinal protection
Bisphosphonate, calcium, and vitamin D – For bone protection
Sequential ESR determination may assist in determining the success of corticosteroid therapy. Once the signs of clinical inflammation are suppressed and the ESR is maintained at a low level, corticosteroids may be tapered In almost all patients, the steroid dosage can be significantly decreased; however, the inflammatory process may ebb and flow, and temporary dose increases may be needed to control disease flares. Relapse occurs in 25-60% of cases.
The dose of prednisone should be increased only if clinical manifestations recur, and not simply on the basis of an elevation of the ESR. An elevated ESR without accompanying symptoms or signs of GCA could be related to an infection.
No absolute guidelines exist as to the length of treatment with corticosteroids for GCA.[100] It may be reasonable to maintain the patient on treatment for 2 years to lessen the chances for relapses. Even then, relapses have been reported.[137] Some patients may need treatment for as long as 5 years. Because the incidence of new visual damage appears to decrease with disease duration, consider a repeat temporal artery biopsy before restarting corticosteroids in patients who relapse after 18-24 months.
Long-term corticosteroid therapy has frequent and potentially serious consequences, including diabetes mellitus, vertebral compression fractures, steroid myopathy, steroid psychosis, and immunosuppression-related infections.[138] Indeed, the cumulative morbidity associated with long-term therapy often exceeds that of the underlying disease.
Alternative immunosuppressant agents (eg, cyclosporin, azathioprine, methotrexate) may be started later in the course of treatment. They can be useful as steroid-sparing agents in patients who require prolonged treatment with high doses of steroids (more than 5-10 mg/d) and those who experience significant steroid-related complications.
Most patients with GCA can be treated on an outpatient basis. Hospital admission may be indicated for patients with particularly severe symptoms or those unable to provide self-care at home. After resolution of acute GCA, patients require regular followup to monitor for disease recurrence, steroid complications during steroid therapy, and long-term complications such as aortic aneurysm.
Alternatives to Corticosteroids
Trials of other immunosuppressant agents, including cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, and dapsone, have been attempted for their steroid-sparing effects. Steroid dosages have been lowered successfully but inconsistently in some patients on each of these drugs. Toxicity can be a significant problem, particularly with dapsone and cyclophosphamide.
Limited experience suggests that cyclophosphamide may be the most consistently effective immunosuppressant. It may permit more rapid steroid tapering when instituted after a relapse. Cyclophosphamide may be administered in monthly pulses.[122]
Azathioprine, in an average dosage of 1.5-2.7 mg/kg/day, reduced steroid requirements in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that included 31 patients with GCA, polymyalgia rheumatic, or both. However, the advantage of azathioprine over placebo did not reach statistical significance until 1 year.[139]
Methotrexate has been used as a steroid-sparing agent, in doses of 15-25 mg/wk. However, evidence regarding its efficacy remains inconclusive.[140, 141, 142, 143]
In a formal meta-analysis, adjunctive methotrexate, 7.5-15 mg/wk, reduced the risk of a first relapse by 35% and of a second relapse by 51%. In addition, methotrexate reduced the cumulative exposure to steroids. However, the superiority of the treatment effect of methotrexate over placebo fully appeared only after a latency period of 24-36 weeks, and no between-group difference was noted in the occurrence of adverse events.[141]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (eg, infliximab, etanercept) are being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of GCA. A randomized controlled trial showed that adding infliximab to steroids provided no measurable benefit in the management of newly diagnosed GCA.[144]
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of etanercept in steroid-refractory GCA yielded mixed results. The study included 17 patients who required a stable dose of prednisone of 10 mg/d to maintain clinical remission and had at least one steroid-related adverse effect. After 12 months, more of the patients in the etanercept group had successfully discontinued prednisone (50% versus 22.2% of placebo patients), but the difference was not significant. No difference was noted in the number and type of adverse events.[145]
However, patients in the etanercept group did have a significantly lower cumulative dose of accumulated prednisone during the first year of treatment (p = 0.03). The researchers noted that a larger trial with longer follow-up is needed to determine the role of etanercept in GCA therapy.[145]
In an open-label study, treatment with the interleukin-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab led to rapid and maintained improvement in 19 of 22 patients whose GCA was refractory to corticosteroid treatment, or who had experienced unacceptable corticosteroid side effects. However, serious infection-related complications--including a fatal stroke associated with infective endocarditis--occurred in three patients.[146]
A number of clinical trials of GCA are either actively recruiting or are active but not yet recruiting. For a complete list, see these List Results from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Diet and Activity
Patients with GCA who are on steroid therapy should be monitored carefully for the steroid-related complications of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, peripheral edema, and weight gain. Management of dietary sugar, salt, and caloric intake may help to prevent such complications.
No activity restrictions are necessary in a patient with GCA who is asymptomatic on adequate therapy. If a patient has ischemic eye or brain symptoms, then bedrest in a supine position may be desirable before or when first beginning steroid therapy. Some patients may have orthostatically sensitive amaurosis fugax, but this is rare.
Immediate consultation with a rheumatologist is suggested when initiating high-dose steroid therapy for presumed GCA prior to performance of a temporal artery biopsy (TAB). Therapy should not be delayed if consultation is not available immediately, however.
Rheumatologic consultation also is indicated to consider the need for steroid therapy when biopsy results are negative, but the clinical presentation strongly suggests GCA. The occasional patient with GCA who does not respond adequately to steroid therapy requires a referral for reconsideration of the diagnosis and for other forms of immunosuppressive therapy.
Surgical consultation is necessary for TAB. Depending on the institution, this procedure can be performed by a neurosurgeon, plastic surgeon, ophthalmologist, or general surgeon.
It is imperative that the treating physician be familiar and confident with the laboratory that is evaluating the TAB specimen, since this is the criterion standard for GCA diagnosis. A myriad of laboratory errors (eg, specimen handling, fixation, sectioning) can, if they occur, result in a misdiagnosis (most often a false-negative result).
An ophthalmologist should be consulted for a complete, dilated ocular examination to rule out other causes of vision loss, particularly when the diagnosis is uncertain. Consultation with neurologist is helpful for excluding other causes of headache.
Long-Term Monitoring
Because giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a potentially blinding and lethal disease, regular follow-up care after a successful initial management of the acute process is considered a standard of care. Routine follow-up should include asking about symptoms of upper extremity claudication or ischemia, listening for bruits, and taking blood pressure in both arms. Ongoing monitoring of symptoms and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is mandatory.
The ESR often normalizes within days of instituting steroid therapy. With tapering of steroid doses, ischemic complications may occur at any time but tend to occur a median of 1 month after beginning therapy.
British guidelines recommend that patients with GCA have follow-up visits at weeks 1, 3, and 6 and then months 3, 6, 9, and 12 in the first year after diagnosis, with extra unscheduled visits as necessary if relapse or adverse events occur.[49] The typical patient with GCA remains on steroid therapy for roughly 2 years. Followup is recommended until 1 year after discontinuation of therapy.
During corticosteroid therapy, monitoring for complications of long-term use of these drugs is indicated. Patients should be screened for diabetes, hypertension, and cataracts.
Given the high risk of corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, patients should have baseline bone densitometry at the start of therapy. All patients on corticosteroids need adequate calcium and vitamin D for protection against osteoporosis (1500 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D3 daily).
American College of Rheumatology guidelines provide an algorithm for determining whether a patient receiving corticosteroids is at low, medium, or high risk for osteoporosis. The guidelines also offer recommendations for treatment—including, where appropriate, pharmacologic treatment with alendronate, risedronate, zoledronic acid, or teriparatide, with the choice of agent determined partly by risk level.[147]
Vaccination against influenza and pneumococcal disease is of heightened importance, because of relative immunosuppression from steroids. Long-term high-dose steroid therapy increases risk for peptic ulcer disease, particularly in patients older than 65 years, so prophylaxis with histamine-2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors, or antacids is justified, especially in patients who are also taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.[148]
Retrospective but impressive data from Nesher and colleagues support the use of low-dose aspirin (81 mg) in patients with GCA for prevention of visual loss and stroke.[149] This therapy should be initiated in every patient diagnosed with GCA who does not have contraindications to its use.

Good results and the stock price drops ?
I agree. The technical things seem to be going OK. I think this company is a take over candidate. Merck or Lilly at the top of the list.
Due to the Canada disaster the oil surplus is now gone. Those 1200 drilled but not fracked wells will now be fracked ASAP. SSE will be getting crews ready tomorrow.
Due to Canada disaster.
Why ?
Is someone going to buy it for a dollar a share ?
Some of the run up might be takeover talk. It has been going on for years but one of these days it might happen.
Did IMMU get any hearing to present their side of the story or did ASCO act based on data that a third party sent them ? Mrs. Sullivan has issued a statement saying the paper to be presented did contain new data. I have followed ASCO for a number of years and I have never heard of a case like this.
It says the data was updated from May and it was a different group of patients. If they can prove it, then ASCO is at fault.
it should work in combination with Opdivo and Keytruda. Both these drugs are doing great but in all their trials there is always a group of patients whose immune system doesn't respond. CDX-301 added to these drugs might help some of the non responders.
They don't seem to understand EXEL is on it's way to becoming a profitable company or possibly a buyout at a higher price
I hope IMMU gives a good explanation of what happened at ASCO. Also, somebody please ask why they don't screen patients for the presence of Trop 2 before treatment. Picking patients who overexpress the receptor greatly improves the % of responders.
Is anything happening ?
Is there something negative we don't know or are margin calls causing forced selling ?
The slides have been posted on IMMU's web site but did anyone hear the presentation or get to hear the answers to any questions ?
Good- If IMMU can prove the ASCO data was from May and that it was from a separate group of patients then the law suits won't be a problem. The bad- they need a partner for 132 because phase 3 trials are very expensive and they don't have a lot of money. Also, the best partner would be a big pharma that has a PD-1 inhibitor because all cancer treatment is moving to a chemo- drug plus a PD-1 inhibitor.
The selling my not be as simple as it looks. If some if the insiders held stock on margin with the thought that the good TNBC results would increase the price then the surprise withdrawal of the ASCO paper would have resulted in some margin calls.
PD-1 inhibitors ( Merck, BMY) work best when some of the cancer cells are killed off by some other means and the pieces of cancer protein are picked up by APC cells and used to train the T-cells to attack the cancer. X-Rays are commonly used for this purpose in lung cancer
One good example of a management loosing their stock due to margin calls was Aubrey McClendon at Chesapeak.
Slides from two different presentations are available on the IMMU web site. One set is from the PEGS meeting in Boston on April 25, 2016 and the other set is from the Jefferies Conference in June 2016 (post ASCO). The crux of the results are presented in a format known as Waterfall diagrams in which each patient has a bar that shows their change from a baseline value. The Jefferies Waterfall is chart # 9 and dated May 2016 and the PEGS Waterfall (# 18) is dated DEC. 2015. The data are similar but not identical. For example, there are 15 patients with progressive disease (5 shown + 10 not shown) whereas the PEGS Waterfall has a total of 11 with PD. IMMU has stated that the ASCO data was from May 2016 and was different patients or updated from the April presentation.

I was pouting a bit about not getting to go to my favorite diner in town today to have their Poppy Seed chicken so I found this recipe. I agree that 1 T. of poppy seeds are plenty; I mix them into the soup mix as people around here tend to do. I also pulled chicken out of the freezer that had already been cooked and diced but it would have been better if I had either seasoned it during cooking or seasoned the mix a bit before cooking. I might try some garlic powder next time. Since DH and I work different shifts, I put this into 4 individual baking dishes and only put crackers on mine so we can cook the others when one of us is here to eat. I still cooked for about 20-30 minutes. Not as rich and decadent as the diner's variety, but still yummy and filled the spot! Thanks for sharing!
Very easy and incredibly good. I would go with one Tablespoon of the seeds.
Great! A friend brought us Poppy Seed Chicken and my kids loved it, but after looking at the traditional recipe, I just couldn't bring myself to add a stick of butter and other full fat ingredients to chicken.This recipe was a great find, and even more flavorful than the regular version. Simple, too. Instead of canned soup, I used Cream Soup Substitutes with a little extra chicken base stirred in. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Even though this is low fat, it's way tatier than the other similar versions of this casserole. I made this exactly as written and loved it. Excellent way to use leftover chicken. Thanx for sharing!

The news about printing:
In fact, the scope of application of variable data is very extensive. However, at least for now, it is far from played out its full potential, there is still a very big chance.
But on the other hand, we also need to clearly see that for many print service providers or marketing service providers, using variable data printing technology, in many cases it is not necessary, because when you an overview of the entire market when now the traditional printing business has not completely replaced.

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
"Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realized."
"I certainly don't regret my experiences because without them, I couldn't imagine who or where I would be today. Life is an amazing gift to those who have overcome great obstacles, and attitude is everything!"
"My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength."
"If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges."
"You can gain more friends by being yourself than you can by putting up a front. You can gain more friends by building people up than you can by tearing them down. And you can gain more friends by taking a few minutes from each day to do something kind for someone, whether it be a friend or a complete stranger. What a difference one person can make!"

Lengthy Word
|Place 5+ tiles in one go to create a 9 letter word. Scrabble is only available in NA & English.
This can be done in any mode -- a regular game of Scrabble would probably be the easiest. You must create a 9+ letter word, which means you need to build off of at least two existing tiles. Using the same method as "A column of 7" -- set yourself up with an existing "ER" or "ERS" -- both which are valid words. Once you've done that, with the help of http://www.wineverygame.com type in the letters "ER" or "ERS" along with your seven tiles, and eventually it will return a nine letter word for you. Make sure you have plenty of space open before the word you're building onto. If your letters aren't ideal for creating big words, trade them in for new letters until you have a good set. (Ideally, keep all of your A, E, N, R, S, T, and blank tiles.) (For the record, my word was "AIRLINERS".)

Why People Still Starve
Published: July 13, 2003
(Page 8 of 9)
The third, Legina Robert, perished only in December. He was 3 years old and very tiny, just another Malawian youngster with growth so stunted that he had yet to walk. Children warming themselves by a fire dropped him as they carelessly passed his body across the flames. The adults were in the fields when they heard frenzied calls for help. The little boy needed to be rushed to the hospital -- a three-hour journey by foot but only half that if they had been able to borrow one of the village's few bicycles. ''We looked, but we didn't find one,'' Lufinenti recalled. ''He died while I was carrying him on my back.''
Paradoxically, food was growing everywhere, the slender cornstalks nudging up against the roads, leaning along the hillsides, creeping down to the river's edge. Crops were wedged into the spare emptiness of the cities, spreading in half-ovals around office buildings, stores and saloons, reaching even the back entrances of the government ministries. To be in Malawi during the hot and wet growing season was to be embraced by a landscape of tantalizing abundance -- a perplexing sight in view of all the hunger.
But in Malawi, a visitor soon realizes that the lush color is a cruel tease. All those planted fields, all that greenness, are merely symbols of desperation. Crops appear in unlikely places because farmers feel a need to stretch their holdings. Those inescapable cornstalks are telltale of a nation growing food to fill its belly rather than to compete in world markets. Little economic development is taking place.
Always on arrival at Adilesi's house, my first question was ''What are you going to eat today?'' And each time I listened to the family's contingencies, that day's single meal dependent on some relative being lucky enough to get ganyu or Lufinenti being able to sell her foraged greens in the city. When a little money was earned, the family spent it frugally, never splurging on cornmeal but instead cooking gaga, a dish made from only the outer husks of the corn kernels, a sifted residue more commonly employed as fodder.
Adilesi's field is only a short walk from the house. The family's corn plants were puny for that late in the growing season, and many of the leaves were yellowish and droopy. Children broke off the least promising stalks and chewed them like sugar cane.
On one visit, I was accompanied by Ellard Malindi, the country's chief technical adviser for agriculture. He was a big-hearted man who talked easily with the farmers. A few months later, tragically, he would come down with cerebral malaria and die. But on that sunny day, he was at his vigorous best, and during a stroll through Adilesi's field, he moved from row to row, examining the sorry plants and shaking his head in frustration. ''We're standing on the richest soils in the entire country, maybe in southern Africa,'' he said as his arm cut an arc through the air. ''We're in the medium-altitude plateau. But the soil has become depleted by continuous planting, and it has lost its organic nutrients.''
Goliati Faisoni, Adilesi's oldest son, was with us. A skinny, sickly man with bloodshot eyes, he agreed with Malindi. The family would not be reaping much this year. And however much there was, they intended to eat it early, when the cobs were still new and green. The family was often too hungry to allow their crops to ripen fully. Last year, in fact, they used their green corn to feed the mourners at Mdati's funeral.
''Didn't you get a starter pack?'' Malindi asked Goliati.
The family had. But in their desperation they used the fertilizer incorrectly. They were supposed to apply the bag of mixed nutrients -- nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulfur -- when they planted, then a second bag with urea when the stalks were knee high. Instead, the family combined the bags. Then, rather than concentrating on one quarter-acre, they spread it thinly over their entire field, hoping to outsmart science.
''There were also beans in the pack,'' Malindi said. ''Did you plant a bean crop?''
No, he confessed. The family had been unable to resist. They had eaten the beans.
Families starve because families lack money. In most cases, it is that simple.
But last year, while most of Mkulumimba went hungry, its chief, Daniel Mkulumimba, was getting by all right. I had often wondered about him. He was the one man in all five villages whom others considered wealthy. His tobacco field was only a 10-minute walk from Adilesi's door. ''He could easily help people, and sometimes he does,'' Elias, the headman, told me. ''But it's not his nature. He mostly takes care of his own.''
By American standards, Daniel was hardly rich. He, too, lived in a one-room house, though it was a bigger room, and it was covered with a roof that did not leak. He owned an ox cart, a bicycle, six donkeys and four goats. Besides corn and tobacco, he grew cabbage, lettuce, turnips and sugar cane on his 15 acres of land. He fertilized his fields, and the healthy cornstalks towered above him. He had two wives and a pot belly.

Woman credits traffic ticket for 200lb weight loss
September 7, 2012 5:20 PM
Janette Colantonio of Summerville, South Carolina says that a traffic ticket she received kick started her journey to lose over 200 pounds. A year and a half ago trooper Mark Amos cited her for failing to wear her seatbelt. At 408 pounds, Colantonio couldn't get the belt across her frame and admitted that she had not buckled up for years. Trooper Amos said, "It happens a lot with South Carolina's obesity rate." The ticket was the inspiration Colantonio needed saying, "I'm sure there's a lot of things that led up to that point, but that ticket was like reality in my face, and I don't know if I would have done it as quickly if I didn't get the ticket." Colantonio continues to lose weight to reach her ultimate goal of 145 pounds. Researchers have found that extremely obese people are 60 percent less likely to buckle up, and are 56 percent more likely to die in a car crash.

Location is not counted in Lugano since its a tiny town, yet you need a hotel with a lake view which was the case for International au lac, stunning views for the rooms facing the frontage.
I loved the historic style of the hotel and how its maintaining the feel of old and very clean. Beautiful bar on the first floor with a nice small french-balcony directly facing the lake. An amazing tiny-museum like room on the first floor having all the hotel's belongings since the beginning of the 20th century, displayed in an excellent way.
Breakfast hall is beautiful and food is good. Very nice swimming pool area if you go in summer with nice wooden seatings.
Rooms need to be renovated somehow while keeping the old style.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

I've played gold both long and short (mostly long thankfully) but last week I did get burned one day when I thought it would dip after the sudden rise on QE tapering. The price action felt very different than earlier jolts and gold mercilessly melted up. Even in the face of rising yields, QE, equity sell off, the barbaric relic just doesn't care anymore.
This is a crazy volatile metal, but we're sitting below the cusp of the 100 DMA (1380) and I think shorts are going to be really nervous next week - soon as we cross this threshold, it's a green light. We're headed right into the seasonal buying time and fear is creeping back into markets, both of which are going to help this rally continue further.
Grats to the guys who bought the low. My portfolio is now 100% in gold/silver long. I suspect volatility in the next few weeks but I think the trend is up.

Alojamiento 100% recomendable. En muy buenas condiciones, instalaciones inmejorables y una atención excelente por parte del propietario. Relación calidad-precio muy buena. Repetiríamos sin dudar!
Accommodation 100% advisable. Thanks very much to our host for such a wonderful stay. We loved the quality of the rooms and all the spaces in the house. Markt Josef was very kind and warm since our arrival. We really felt confortable and happy with our choice. We definitely recommend your accommodation to others.
Great stay in a very pleasant apartment.
Vute little ski appartment in a good location, communication was good and very clear. Good value for money, had everything you need and a stones throw from all the local hot spots.
This place is a ripoff please be careful before clinking book on there are massive terrible extra charges and these interhome people are the wrosre people in the entire world fuck them
Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)
Perfect camping, very clean, modern houses! Improvement suggestion is the outdated wifi useage. Helpfull people, clean toilet buildings. Would like to come back when the wifi is multi useable. Good french fries / chips available.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly hostess. Handy for the Circumvesuviana train station for Napoli, Sorrento and Vesuvius sites. Friendly little neighbourhood shop very handy. Our apartment did not have balcony as claimed - others in the complex did. Some noise from neighbouring flat. Very much enjoyed our stay.
After paying for this apartment in full, I was told only 1 week before travel that it had become 'unavailable', without any further explanation. Not a long time to reorganise accommodation in Rome. I was travelling with my work colleagues to a conference so we had specific room and location requirements. Needless to say there was not much available in our price range at such sort notice. Very disappointing!!!

"There is no denying that her story ended too soon," David Schiff says of his wife, who lost her battle with recurring brain tumors at age 61
"To make a long story short."
A quote known to anyone who has ever had a conversation with Lucinda. Anyone who heard that phrase leave her lips also knew that it wasn't going to be a short story. When you hear a diagnosis of a brain tumor, you think "oh well, that's it. It's gonna be a long life story shortened." There is no denying that her story ended too soon.
Lucinda Schiff's 15-year-battle with recurring brain tumors ended on Wednesday, Dec. 30th at 8:15 p.m. PT at her home in the Pacific Palisades, California. She was 61.

Also Read: Pat Harrington Jr., 'One Day at a Time' Star, Dead at 86
Born and raised as Lucinda Valles in Puerto Rico, her father abandoned her, her three little sisters, and their Irish American mother to fend for themselves, and at 15 years of age her mother died in her arms. Shipped off to New York, more abandonment followed when her dad sent her out of the house at 18 for exhibiting an independent spirit.
An actress in "The Thornbirds," "Miracle On Ice," episodes of "Three's Company" and a handful of co-starring roles in feature films, when she met and married David Schiff, she dedicated the rest of her life as a wife and mother. Lucinda has been known in all her neighborhoods and children's schools as "everyone's mother."
The name Lucinda means "graceful light," and was the Roman goddess of childbirth who safeguarded the lives of women in labor. Lucinda gave the "first light" to the newborn, and illumined them all the way to adulthood, and lighted every room she entered.

When her youngest son reached pre-school, Lucinda produced exquisite works of art and interior design. Later, even between surgeries and in distress, her massive renovation of their Palisades home circa 1926 was featured in the LA Times and continued to be a magnet to friends, family and wandering loners. Lucinda's legacy is her children and all those who have had even a moment with her.
Lucinda is survived by her husband, David Schiff, founder of MGMT. Entertainment, a talent management and production company, daughter, Kaylie with a soon-to-be born baby girl, sons Mickey and Henry, and sisters Marisa, Aileen and Sheila.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Lucinda's name to Every Mother Counts, a non-profit dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother everywhere. Please donate at www.everymothercounts.org or send a check to Every Mother Counts at 180 Varick Street, Suite 1116, New York, NY 10014.

This Elephant Never Remembers
You're the automated GOP push-pollster who calls me at the dinner hour. When you called with loaded questions aimed at supporting the Costa Mesa City Council in firing just about everyone at City Hall, I identified myself as a Republican and answered every question the opposite of how you wanted me to: I favor higher taxes, no layoffs and believe the Costa Mesa City Council is run by racist fucktards. The next night, at dinnertime, you called back. This time, I said I was a Democrat and answered in the complete opposite of how I'd replied before. That should stop the calls, I thought. WRONG! Now I am getting calls from survey companies from Texas, New Hampshire and Blocked Numberland. I give up.

Beer dinner with top chefs on Feb. 25 will raise funds for veteran
The Best of Milwaukee Beer Dinners series -- which pairs food from top Milwaukee chefs with craft beer -- is back this month and raising funds for a badly injured veteran.
The veteran is a friend since childhood of Wolf Peach chef Daniel Jacobs. Sgt. Ed Matayka was severely injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2010, which required the amputation of both legs. He also suffered a stroke as a result of the injuries. His rehabilitation continues, and he and his wife now are expecting twins. »Read Full Blog Post
Foxygen performance a frenetic delight
Indie-rock aficionados have been touting Foxygen this year as a band on the brink of bigger things. There's also been speculation that the band is on the brink of collapse.
Based on the band's wild show Sunday at Turner Hall Ballroom, one could perceive how both perceptions might be true. »Read Full Article

Michele Carey (born 26 February 1943) is an American actress. She appeared in movies with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and other major stars in the 1960s and 70s, and guest starred on several popular television series....
Connect any celebrity with Michele Carey to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
Michele Carey co-starred with legends, but it was her great looks that got most of the attention.
George Vreeland Hill
I'm sitting here watching El Dorado. Bunch of good actors, but I was always crazy about the girl with the voice, buckskins, and wild hair.
Acted in Live a little, Love a little with Elvis Presley 1968
I just saw her in 'Dirty Dingus Magee,' knew I'd seen her before but couldn't place her untiel I looked her up on the net, then remembered in her in 'Live a Little, Love a Little.' She is indeed beautiful but I can't seem to find a biography on her beyond her credits in shows except for the post here about a husband, son and 3 grandsons. One fellow commented on her star power but what is wrong with her voice? I thought she had sweet voice.
I would really like to see what Michele Carey looks like today. I think she was a good actress regardless of what her voice was like. It has been years since she has been in the public eye and I wonder about her every time I see the movie El Dorato on AMC.
I think Michele carey is one of the most beautiful women I have every seen in movies or any where else for that fact,I would love to see what she looks like today,she could only get better with age she must still be very beautiful
Frank, I agree! I am watching El Dorado right now and found this chain looking for for what she is up to now... she's wonderful...
I'm glad to see other men that appreciate Michele Carey's beauty! I recently seen her on El Dorado. Probably the same time Roxey saw her. She came to mind tonight so I thought I would do a Internet search and see what she is doing today. Sorry that there isn't more information on her with recent pictures! I wish her well! Take care pretty Michele!
Just saw the old movie Eldorado and we found her breathtaking. Her style was way beyond the `60s ..natural. She looks like Julianne Hough..similar voice quality. What happened to her?
In late 2010, saw MC in a movie with Henry Silva. A Bo Dereck 11 Why did this fabulous looking woman who seemed to be at least a fair actor disappear from public view?
Did Michele ever have a child, if so, when?
One of the most beautiful women of all time.Live a little Love a little made me a fan of her`s 4ever.
